Need a screwdriver? Better hope there's one lying under a brick in a back alley somewhere!

I know that simply buying every solution you need would make for a terribly silly game, and I can pretty easily ignore how little sense that makes while playing, sure. This isn't a complaint, exactly. Just something that went through my head earlier.

I remember not having any money to spend or a car to drive when I played adventure games, so I could relate :) And in 30 more years retail may be even more dead.
